Task 1: Draw 3-7 pictures that are the most important parts of your book (In Readers Journal, Due December 5) No Writing
Based on your independent reading, draw 3-7 pictures (4-5 goal number) that represent key parts or events in your novel. Consider the following when drawing the pictures: characterization and interactions, setting, and conflict. You can also consider important objects or sumbols in the novel. Please complete this in your Reader's Notebook (or on computer paper). Remember the following rules: no writing, your original artwork only - no computer graphics or Paint drawings, no digital photography and not cut out pictures. These may be options in the future, but for this task I want your own drawings. The drawings are not important;. the story they tell is the significant part.
